RELLAIRF.
Thing. Talked About In the Glass City.

the same substance covers them. We had
hoped 10 see tar used on the surface ike
in Wheeling as we think it causes q paved
street to last longer than otherwise. just
think of it. A corn field in 1854 and now
a thoroughfare equal to any in thecountry:
Let the good work proceed. Soon Belmont
street will present an appearance like unit
Union, and ere long other of our much
used streets, if the same public spirit keeps
awake will be paved.

The public square was ablaze with nat
ural gas jets on Thursday evening, and
Chinese lanterns hung promiscuously from
the trees in the new park. Barnes brass
band gave good music and fully l,5OO
people gathered at the place to q part IN
the festival of the Young WOmen's Chris
tian Temperance Union. Various muslin
signs stated that the "Y. IS" would have q
festival, but most people had no thought
what the Authorization was for. 1t seemed
a feeble effort to get out a great throng,
for the pOpulace seemed bent on giving
the young ladies a good turnout. Every
member of the organization wears a white
roseo an occasion of this nature and I'M
der the Jets of gas the simple button-hole
bouquet seemed to add l~Oveliness to the
face of every wearer. A good round sum
was cleared, and the Young ladies are
happy.
The Buckeye Building and Loan Com
pany was FIVE years old last Monday, and
at the annual meeting the Secretary's re-
port showed that the association had clear
ed over 10 per cent last year. The Buck
eve has had a wonderful existence since it
was organized, and has never yet failed TO
nav a good dividend. A new series OF
stock is being issued this month. Over
$50 shares have already been taken, and 1t
now looks rs if the number OF new stock
holders in the association would be largely
increased. 1t behOOves those who are able
to save a few dollars each month, to put 1t
in a building association where they can
make interest on it. The Belmont Build
ing Loan Company is at present q good
place to deposit money with the intention
of reaping a benefit from it.
